standards.

Must be 18 years of age or older to participate. A "minor" release form must be obtained and signed by a guardian or parent if the participant is under the age of 18.

Submitted scripts must be original screenplays, and the sole property of the applicant(s).

Scripts must be between 5 to 15 pages in length. Absolutely no exceptions.

Writers from all countries are welcome to enter, but all scripts must be in English and formatted to industry standards.

There is no limit to the number of screenplays an applicant may submit. Each entry must be submitted separately and pay an individual entry fee.

Under absolutely no circumstances will substitutions of either corrected pages, new drafts, or changes in titles of the entry screenplay(s) be accepted.

Previously optioned, purchased, or produced scripts are not eligible.

Although winners will receive writer’s credit, they also understand that once the script is selected, Inner Image Media owns the rights to the property.

Edits and re-writes may occur to fit production guidelines or budget.

If a submitted screenplay becomes optioned, produced or purchased between the time of submission and the end of the judging period, that screenplay will no longer be eligible for competition.

Competition judges and readers are not eligible to enter.

Employees of DTM or IIM, along with their family members, and clients of DTM are not eligible to enter.

Screenplays submitted under a pen name will be immediately disqualified.

Inner Image Media reserves the right to extend the submission deadline and subsequent winner announcements if the contest gets an overwhelming response.

Screenplays uploaded or posted online to the public are not eligible.

Inner Image Media reserves the right to cancel the contest at any time and for any reason. In that event, submission fees will be refunded.

All decisions are final.

Winners will receive "story by" and "written by" credit. Upon announcement of the grand prize winning script, ownership of property will immediately revert to Inner Image Media for a period of two (2) years (for production, festival inclusion, and distribution possibilities). Inner Image Media will be granted an exclusive option to extend ownership in writing/via email no less than 30 days prior to the expiration of present contract.

Each entry grants Inner Image Media and Dedicated Talent Management exclusive rights to use their name(s) and script title(s) on the IIM and DTM websites, as well as on any/all social media platforms, universally, for any/all promotional purposes, in perpetuity.
